The jury Refuses To Give Him a
Verdict Against Ben Butler.
NEW YORK, Feb. l9.--The suit of j. 81.
Lester against Ben Butler for damages
for alleged false Imprisonment during the
war, which has been In progress before
Judge Coke, in the United States Court,
ended to-day. At the close of the argu-
ment Judge Coke said: 'Before / direct
the jury to find verdict in favor OF the
defendant it will be necessary to revie "
the facts of the case and consider the
time when these acts took place. No one
who has listened TO the testimony can
doubt for minute but that Lester was
helping the ConfederacY. 1t will be seen
that the plaintiff was slave owner. that
he was engaged in the manufac-
ture of arms tor the COnfederacy, +,
that when he was arrested he
had in his possession O contract to
purchase fast vessels to run the blockade.
that when Mrs. Lester was searched
drafts were found in her possession on
people in Canada who We're connected
with the Coniederacy, that Lester had
taken several oaths OF allegiance before
he crossed the line, and that
he was connected with block
ade runners. All these facts
were considered by a military commits
sion which was legally constituted. The
defendant was major general in COM
mand of the Department of Virginia, and,
according to the military code, was bound
to obey the commands of his supe-
riors. He received orders from the Sec
retary of war to examine and
arrest the plaintiff, and If he had disobey-
ed these orders he would have been pun
ished. The act of May 16, 1864, exempts
the defendant from prosecution for dam
ages, as the commission was a legally
constituted body. Its judgment is not to be
questioned. | can see no defect in
the organization OF the court, and 1T is en-
trely clear that this defendant cannot be
held responsible for these acts, and di.
rect the jury TO find averdIct in favor OF
the defendant" The jury brought in a
verdict as the court directed, and Mr.. Les

proceedings for thirty days, which was

LABOR ORDERS LOCK HORNS.
The knights and the AmaIgamated
Association Again at War.

Ine hnISntS ana the Amalgamuteu
Association Again at War.
PITTsBURG. PA, Feb. 1S.--The strike
at the junction Iron w orks at Mingo %,
threatens TO cause serious trouble be-
tween the knights of Labor and the
Amalgamated Association OF Iron and
Steel Workers. The strikers are men,
bers of both organizations, and conflict
of authority has arisen between the
leaders of the two powerful associations.
The men struck for pay for the time they
were compelled to remain IN the mill
through the breakage OF the machinery,
and the Amalgamated Association sup
ported them in their demands. The
Knights of Labor opposed the strike and
ordered resumption of work, while the
AmaIgamated leaders forbade the men re-
turning until their demands were OBJ
tanned. William II. Bailey, of the Gen.
eral Executive Board of the Knights Of
Labor, and President Weihe, of the
Amalgamated Association, have had
several conferences. but there are no in
dlcations OF settlement of the trouble.
NATURE OF THE FIGHT.
This is regarded as the beginning OF q
fight in which danger is threatened iden-
tical with that now existing between
the knights and the International Cigar
Makers Union, that the men must give
up one or the other association. Within
the last few months there has been
special effort of both organizations to
strengthen their membership among the
iron and steel workers. The Amalga-
mated Association has been bringing in
new lodges every week, and has been
especially successful among the steel
workers. This increase in new me m bers
alone is said now TO amount 10 about
1000 men. Two new lodges were organ
lied within couple of days. One is at
Terre Haute, Ind, and the other at Ben
wood, Va.
STRONGER THAN EVER.
1t is said that to-day the Amalgamated
Association is stronger than at any time
in its history. The Knights of Labor have
been equally diligent In securing mill and
steel workers into their order. Special
organizers have been getting this class of
workmen into the order. This strength
ening OF the membership seems to have
embittered the feeling between the two
organizations. The Amalgamated Asso-
citation Is still voting on the proposition
to join the Knights of Labor in body,
which was made by the latter organiza-
tion last summer. OF the lodges that have
been heard from, prominent members say
700 members have voted to JOIN the
knights OF Labor while over 5000 have
voted against 1t.
